Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI JKJK LMLN OJOJ| The wind makes moan the water runneth chill | A |
| I hear the nymphs go crying through the brake | B |
| And roaming mournfully from hill to hill | A |
| The maenads all are silent for his sake | B |
| - | |
| He loved thy pipe O wreathed and piping Pan | C |
| So play'st thou sadly lone within thine hollow | D |
| He was thy blood if ever mortal man | C |
| Therefore thou weepest even thou Apollo | D |
| - | |
| But O the grieving of the Little Things | E |
| Above the pipe and lyre throughout the woods | F |
| The beating of a thousand airy wings | E |
| The cry of all the fragile multitudes | G |
| - | |
| The moth flits desolate the tree toad calls | H |
| Telling the sorrow of the elf and fay | I |
| The cricket little harper of the walls | H |
| Puts up his harp hath quite forgot to play | I |
| - | |
| And risen on these winter paths anew | J |
| The wilding blossoms make a tender sound | K |
| The purple weed the morning glory blue | J |
| And all the timid darlings of the ground | K |
| - | |
| Here here the pain is sharpest For he walked | L |
| As one of these and they knew naught of fear | M |
| But told him daily happenings and talked | L |
| Their lovely secrets in his list'ning ear | N |
| - | |
| Yet we do bid them grieve and tell their grief | O |
| Else were they thankless else were all untrue | J |
| O wind and stream O bee and bird and leaf | O |
| Mourn for your poet with a long adieu | J |
